Much Mystery as to Who.tlio Fellow the Name tilven and tlw One In Jlls Hat ot C'rrrfiHinding Mncti Sympathy For Major Jenkins In HiX Mah by Fire Jlaro iollu as Weil as Kwortl Jcstroyed. Observer Bureau, 1422 Main Street. Columbia. 8. C, Jan. 5. Another well-dressed, and appar ently educated and at one time well-to-do man. likely from North Caro lina, has attempted suicide in a mys terious manner in a South Carolina town. The -mysterious citizen this time gave Ms name as Wade, but iaj tne band of his "hat. which was pur chased In Greensboro N. C, is cut the name of Or. J. II. Jfnson, aud the same name was written in the hat with a pen. He was found un conscious In his room at the Prosper ity Hotel yesterday with an empty vial near his bed. His recovery Is doubt ful. When he came to the hotel Fri day after getting off a train at Little Mountain, he said he was a soliciting agent for the Seaboard and seemed much worried over the Seaboard's re ceivership troubles. Seaboard officials here are acquaint ed with a fire claim agent named J. W. -Johnson, but this la an elderly settled man of a Jolly disposition1 ,and ir is not tnought this is the man who who gave his name as Wade. The alleged North Carolinian, who attempted suicide at Greenville about a week ago by drinking laudanum, disappeared from there mysteriously Just before the occurrence at Prosper ity, and many believe the two are one and the same. . People all over the State are sym pathizing with Major Micah Jenkins in the severe loas he sustained last right by the .fire which destroved Ms home atjHidgewood suburb. T"he se verest financial loss was In the furni ture, which was totally wiped out with the exception of three chairs. There was only $500 Insurance on the furniture, which was. worth perhaps $3,500. The house Itself wjis the property of Mrs. Ellen S. "Watklns. The loss which Major Jenkins feels m.pst keenly, however. Is the hand some sword-presented to him at the Charleston Exposition In 1902 by the people of South Carolina through President Itoosevelt. who had given the major general of the Confederacy! his commission In the Spanish-American war, and who had promoted him for gallantry on the field, afterward appointing him collector of internal revenue for this State. Another lew that cannot tie repairej was a rare old violin. He also lost many handsome family portraits. These articles would perhaps have been saved but for the anxiety Major Jenkins felt about his children, who were asleep at the time the fire was discovered and who were got out too hurriedly to allow them to e dressed.
